Microsemi Wins the 2014 Electronic Products China "Product of the Year" AwardALISO VIEJO, Calif., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced that its high performance Optical Transport Network (OTN) clock translator, ZL30169, received the "Product of the Year" award from Electronic Products China and 21ic.com, a leading business publication for electronics engineers, and the most influential website among Chinese electronic engineers, respectively.  "Our editors evaluated hundreds of products launched in 2014 in China on the basis of significant advancement in technology or function, improvement for new technology and applications trend and easy for development. The ZL30169 demonstrated success in its category," said Scott Li, executive editor-in-chief at Electronic Products China. "2015 marks the 7th anniversary of EPC 'Product of the Year' award, which will continue to recognize the best products in the industry." "This prestigious award spotlights the value and advanced technology Microsemi designs into our industry-leading OTN timing solutions," said James J. Peterson, chairman and CEO of Microsemi. "As a leader in timing solutions, we understand the need for 100G coherent technology for its spectral efficiency and reach, and our ZL30169 line card device features the ultra-low jitter performance necessary to support 100G coherent technology. The highly flexible ZL30169 line card device also provides a broader range of client rate support, helping developers meet stringent design requirements." About the ZL30169 OTN Clock Translator It integrates a digital phase locked loop (DPLL), analog PLL (APLL) and EEPROM into an ultra-small 5x5mm 32-pin QFN package. The APLL generates an especially low jitter output clock programmable to any frequency from 1Hz to 1035MHz—the first device of its kind offering such a wide frequency range. With programmable loop bandwidth from 14Hz to 500Hz, the DPLL accepts any input frequency from 1kHz to 1250MHz and provides hitless reference switching, holdover and jitter filtering. The EEPROM provides automatic self-configuration of the device at start-up. The ZL30169 delivers criticl features such as dynamic rate conversion for forward error correction used in OTN transport and switching applications. The ZL30169 meets all the jitter and wander requirements that are specified in the ITU-T G.8251 recommendation to ensure satisfactory network performance. The ZL30169 also features a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) mode, which allows very high resolution (better than 0.01ppb) output frequency control by system software. This capability provides a cost-effective solution for customers designing their own mapper with FPGAs, allowing them to replace large, expensive, fixed-frequency voltage-controlled oscillators (VCXOs). The device's easy-to-use evaluation software generates configuration scripts to be stored in internal EEPROM or to be run on a system processor.
